So here it is, the day before Halloween, and we realized we still don't have a pumpkin. We usually have several pumpkins, and my husband goes all out and carves them into extravagant creations...but this year Halloween just came too fast and we were not prepared.

My son is so excited about the 3D Soccer Light from 3D Deco Lights. He sleeps in a loft bed, and there is no place to put a lamp for him to use at night, and he would like to be able to read at night. When I saw the 3D Soccer Light, I knew it was the perfect solution.
